Pancreatic cancer is not caused by smoking thus the specialists told us . My love had none of the things mentioned as causing it . Doctors said it was something they didn’t know the cause of. Sorry but this info is wrong.
I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PAPILLARY FOLLICULAR VARIANT THYROID
CANCER IN 1993. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HEARD OF SO MANY OTHERS
WITH THE SAME. JUST RECENTLY, MY BOSS.
WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS TO BE SO COMMON
This list left off a BIGGIE Esophageal Cancer!!!
It killed my husband in less than 2 years. It is
so common now days. They really need to update
this list!
I agree–esophagael cancer is deadly! My husband died within 6 months at age 45. More information needs to be spread about this deadly disease before more fathers and husbands are wiped out.
Of all the cancers I would opine that Prostate cancer is the most treatable if you just get proper diagnosis, EARLY!
Why is there so little mention of vaginal cancer?
I just found out that I have small cell cancer of the right lung. and some in my liver. I start chemo today but I am going to fight this and I have lots of faith and the Lord is going to take care of me. The only thing that I am afaid of is losing my hair but i know it will happen so i just get a wig and go on with my life. I do not feel bad I just have pain in my right side near my ribs. just keep me in your Prayers.
